What do you people think...

Software life cycle :

10% - Tipping point - (hardcore techies) 30% - Rapid growth - (IT people) 50% - Consumer, User level 80% - Domination

What we are seeing is that Linux has crossed the tipping point.

Next level it has to scale it to the common tech people. It will take a few more years. This is in progress...

Linux has a long way to go...

How long till Linux desktop nirvana ?

:D
